Wanted - complete LHD split beam including spindles

[Marriedblonde]

As per the title I am after a complete LHD split beam including splindles. Are they handed? Guessing they are.

Must be complete, not interested in just the beam thanks.

Must be in good shape.

WHY - thanks

That's utter pish! All Spitty beams will fit a a pre-70 early bay (with the early beam mouting bolt pattern).. it's the spindles that make a difference... if you have an early beam then you need to get '63 only spindles so EB brakes or Porka brakes will fit... 64-67 spindles accept EB brakes but won't fit an early split beam as the link pins are different (19.9mm vs 21.9mm)

So, if you have a pre '64 beam, just buy '63 only (dropped) spindles for it which are available as that is what's fitted to my bus at the moment!

64-67 is actually a better option as 63 only spindles are hard to come by, the link pins cost alot more and if you needed to replace the king pins you have to find nos. You could use pre 63 as CSP do a disc kit jus depends how much you want to spend?

They are handed but its only the steering dampner mount that make the difference, you can cut it of and weld on the other side.

OK, a couple of facts with the aim of clarifying matters.. (we're gonna get told off soon for chat in a classified thread! )

Transporterhaus will happily make you a set of '63 dropped spindles.. they are even advertised on the Coolair VW website. (They are the same price as any other Dropped Spindle BTW)

King pins should you ever need to replace them are available at VW Heritage, or a revisit to TH should sort you out..

The link pins are slightly more expensive, however, from TH's own lips, the early ones don't seem to wear out like the late ones for some reason.. so buy the time you've bought 2 sets of late link pins, you're evens at worst...

He/she wants to buy a complete set-up including spindles . Why did you bother with all that above ? Like I said 64-67 is best , as that`s what`s fitted to MY bus at the moment .

1964-67 beams have roller bearings as well, rather than bushes.
